According to the House secretariat, the PP has submitted 17 proposals seeking to amend the constitution section by section. The section stipulates that a charter amendment bill requires the support of at least one-third of the new 200-member Senate, or 67 senators. Before it was dissolved and reborn as the PP, the Move Forward Party pushed three charter amendment proposals.
